Ted Lasso Star Reveals Surprising Inspirations For Roy Kent Performance

The Apple TV+ series was a beacon of hope during a pandemic-era television landscape that saw challenging productions lead to unsatisfying content. Its story of an optimistic American football coach traveling to England to lead a Premier League team was a breakout hit because of its relatively simple approach to depicting characters that want to be good people.
